69. Two minutes of fail, one post of genius

Thu Oct 18, 2012, 04:33 PM

Oct 2012

Plaid Adder, I love you so much I want to add you to my binder. You absolutely NAILED everything I was yelling at the teevee while Mitt smirked his way through his response. What was so funny and sad and appalling all at once was that you could tell Mittens thought this was a great answer. "Yeah, the little ladies are gonna love this!" He's probably still wondering what all the fuss is about. He is just so f*cking clueless.

Guess I should go fill out my ballot - with my husband's help, of course, so I don't strain my little lady-brain. Umm, you draw hearts and unicorns around the candidates you think are the cutest, right? But first I gotta go see if Amazon still has those Bic lady-pens.
